Referral links vs Affiliate links
#1
What does affiliate link mean?

An affiliate link is a specific URL that contains the affiliate's ID or username. In affiliate programs, advertisers use affiliate links to record the traffic that is sent to the advertiser's website. This action is all part of an affiliate program.


What is a referral link?

referral link is a link that is given out to each customer who is invited to participate your referral program. This link is unique to each advocate and appears in each advocate's Sharing Page. This link is used by our app to track sharing and referrals by advocates.


How does an affiliate link work?

An affiliate link is a way of linking to a product while asking the website to give the blogger a little commission. ... Affiliate links work by placing a cookie on your computer. A cookie is a tiny little file that the website sends to your computer so next time you visit, they will know who you are already.

Affiliate link disclosures are an FTC-mandated practice. Essentially, whenever a link is used on your website that results in a commission, you must disclose this information to site visitors. This extends beyond affiliate links, and must also be done for endorsements, sponsorships, and the like.



Referral links are fine with the Promo2day forum so no need for everyone to worry. There are a few individuals trying to add their affiliate links in their posts to make money off everyone. If any are found by anyone please let me know and they will be removed.

I don't have a problem with someone posting a link to get some credit for the posting. It's the hidden affiliate links that bother me because these members make money from the forum and never even make a donation for my costs.
